Today CJ and Savannah had their monthly pediatrician visit. The both received their RSV shot and Rotovirus Serum.

CJ weighed in at 12 lbs. 2 ounces and 24 1/2 inches long.

Savannah weighed in at 10 lbs. 6 ounces and 22 1/2 inches long.

The doctor and nurses commented on how great they look. We will also be introducing them to solid foods now. (This should be interesting)

Savannah is also starting to smile and wiggle around more. We are still waiting for her to find her voice. She only really cries if she is in pain or hungry, but no cooing or baby sounds yet.

Finally we are all well again. The babies are doing well and progressing every day. Chuck and I have had a few lucky nights were they both slept about 6/7 hours in a row. CJ and Savannah have their monthly pediatrician check up on Thursday and will also get their shots at the same time

The babies have both seemed to recover from their cold, but Ashley and I still have a lingering cough. I can't wait until we are all 100% again.

Savannah had her Eye Doctor appt. today to check on her mild ROP. The good news is that the ROP has gone away. However, the doctor said that she is near sighted and will need glasses at some point. She also said that she has some other condition that is common with preemies, but we can't recall the name. She has to go back in 3 mths. for another follow up on this new condition.

CJ is really coming along nicely. He is cooing and loves to laugh.

Savannah hasn't hit that milestone yet, but we are confident she will in her own time.

Today was extremely busy for us because the babies had a number of doctor appointments. Our first stop was back at the NICU in Morristown to do a download of Savannah's Apnea monitor. It was nice to see their doctors and a few of the nurses who took such great care of them. As of today, Savannah no longer needs to be on the Apnea monitor..YEAH, finally free of wires. I must admit this will be an adjustment for me because I never really worried about Savannah because I knew the machine would let me know if there was a problem. It will be nice for her not to have those annoying leads stuck to her.

Then we were off to see their Pulmonologist. We really like this doctor and have asked him to take over the care of Ashley as well. For those of you who don't know, Ashley has severe Asthma and has been hospitalized seven times as a result. The doctor was impressed with how well the babies seemed to be handling the cold that they have. However, as mentioned before he would like us to do breathing treatments while they are sick, even though they have no sign of wheezing. We also met with a dietician who is working with us to get Charlton situated with a formula that works. We have also started to add rice to his bottle. We are hoping this will help him sleep better, especially through the night. We go back in 6 weeks for a follow up.

Savannah's eye appointment was canceled due to her doctor being sick, but she will have her eyes checked next week.

Our last stop was the hand surgeon who has been following Savannah in the NICU for her thumb that turned black. As I mentioned one time earlier the color in her finger came completely back. The surgeon was very impressed with the mobility and looks of her finger and said "she definitely dodged a bullet", I said "thank god". So overall we had a great day and the babies are doing wonderful.
